Over the next 2 days we will be learning the alternative spelling patterns for /ee/ sound.

e.g. /ee/ as in deep;  /-y/ as in funny;  /e/ as in me;   /-ey/ as in key

Watch the videos below.

Watch and listen to the story in the video below. 

How many long /ee/ words can you hear and see? 

Can you make a list of them?

Can you use some in sentences of your own?  or can you make up your own short story using them?

Complete the /ee/ sound alternative spelling pattern sheet 1 

Ask an adult to read the instructions to you (see below and the sheet).

1) underline all the different spellings for /ee/ sound in the word list.

Practise reading all the words in the lists (sound out and blend) to yourself first. Then read them to an adult - tick the ones you read correctly.

2) Underline all the different spellings for /ee/ sound in the passage (text) . Then read the text. 

3) In the last box, write a sentence using a word/words from the lists and draw a picture to go with it (illustrate it). 

Challenge: 

Choose a word from each list and write a sentence for each one.

Remember to use joined/best handwriting, a capital letter at the beginning of your sentence, word spaces and a full stop at the end of your sentence
